Abstract: This paper consists of three parts. The first is devoted to investigating the equivalence and left-right symmetry of several conditions known to characterize finite dimensional algebras which have a unique minimal faithful representation-- QF- algebras--in the class of left perfect rings. It is shown that the following conditions are equivalent and imply their right-hand analog: contains a faithful $\Sigma$ -injective left ideal, contains a faithful -projective injective left ideal; the injective hulls of projective left -modules are projective, and the projective covers of injective left -modules are injective. Moreover, these rings are shown to be semi-primary and to include all left perfect rings with faithful injective left and right ideals.

The second section is concerned with the endomorphism ring of a projective module over a hereditary or semihereditary ring. More specifically we consider the question of when such an endomorphism ring is hereditary or semihereditary.

In the third section we establish the equivalence of a number of conditions similar to those considered in the first section for the class of hereditary rings and obtain a structure theorem for this class of hereditary rings. The rings considered are shown to be isomorphic to finite direct sums of complete blocked triangular matrix rings each over a division ring.
